A Dishonorable Offer

After his father's death Fitzwilliam Darcy was raised by his fashionable uncle, Lord Matlock. While an excellent guardian, his uncle could annoy Darcy. Every single time Darcy ended matters with a mistress, Matlock immediately found a new woman for him. Not this time. This time Darcy would prove he could manage an affair on his own. Maybe he'd find some pretty girl with no prospects who liked him while visiting his friend Bingley... Elizabeth and Jane's future looked bleak. Their father had died a decade ago, and Mama had wasted her whole fortune. The only hope to escape being unwanted dependents on their uncles was to marry respectable men. Then Lydia married a brawny blacksmith. Now, everyone thought they would never marry at all, but Elizabeth knew Jane was too good and beautiful to never fall in love and marry. The gentleman who'd taken Netherfield admired Jane. Maybe, Mr. Bingley would ignore every social consideration and fall in love with her sister...
